That looks really good.

I'm sure the title is a play off the WWII propaganda films made by Frank Capra for the US Government:

This documentary has been out for quite some time. It originally ran on BBC Storyteller about a year or two ago. I've had it on my computer for some time and am surprised it is just now being put into small theaters and is getting all this attention.

It's a really good documentary that shows how the military industrial complex operates in the U.S. and how shady it is. It is pretty balanced too with William Kristoff and other neo-cons putting in there 2 cents. And yes it's is titled off of the old WWII propaganda films.

Haven't seen this yet, but if it lives up to Eugene Jarecki's previous movie The Trials of Henry Kissinger, it should be fantastic.

comments?

Ienjoyed it. its quite saddening, depressing, angering. I thought it was well done and having both sides present their thoughts, although it obviously leaned on oneside rather than the other.
